Are you a recent graduate with a passion for making a real difference? Do you want to kickstart your career in education, psychology, social care, or SEN support? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

About the Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate Graduate Teaching Assistant to join a vibrant and inclusive SEN school. This role is ideal for someone who is eager to gain hands-on experience supporting children with a range of special educational needs, including ASD, ADHD, SEMH, and communication difficulties.

As a Graduate Teaching Assistant, you will:

  • Work closely with teachers and therapists to support students' learning and development
  • Provide 1:1 and small group support
  • Help create a positive, engaging, and safe learning environment
  • Learn strategies and interventions that will build your skills and confidence in SEN support
  • Play an important role in helping young people achieve their full potential-academically, socially, and emotionally

    • What We're Looking For

  • A recent graduate (any discipline considered, but psychology, sociology, education, and related fields are highly valued)
  • A warm, patient, and resilient personality
  • A genuine interest in SEN and supporting young people
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Someone who is eager to learn and develop professionally

    • No prior school experience is required-just the right attitude and a desire to make a difference. Full training and ongoing support will be provided.

    What's in It for You?

  • A fantastic stepping stone into teaching, educational psychology, SEN support, or social care
  • Ongoing training and professional development
  • The chance to work with a dedicated team who will support your growth
  • An incredibly rewarding role where no two days are the same
